So I heard my old friend might be in town.
- You heard anything?
- You mean Jack McCadden?
I've been waiting to call you.
He just came in.
And now, direct from an extended tour
where he played for and with many of the
crown'ed heads of Arabia and their wives...
Cam? Is this a joke?
What?
That's not Jack McCadden.
Are you sure?
Same age, same build?
But here's the thing
Jack doesn't have a snake tatooed on his face.
Or a steel bolt through his penis.
I gotta go.
Can I help you?
Detective Bryce to see Mr. Elliott.
Sorry! Never seen her before.
Right.
And your credit card was stolen or lost
just the day before it was used
to check in to the Bed and Breakfast.
Neat how that worked out, isn't it?
- You're not LAPD, are you?
- Used to be. I'm in Santa Barbara, now.
their occationally wayward daughter live.
What exactly do you do here
at Elliott Consulting, Mr. Elliott?
Risk assessment and management.
As a former confidence man
become an expert on that?
The same way you got to Carnegie Hall, Detective.
Practice, practice, practice.
Where is Ms. Price, Mr. Elliott?
Or should I call you Mr. Avalon,
Mr. Morgan, Mr. Weil.
- Detective, I swear to God
- What about
Your old boss Jack McCadden?
Would he know?
the other day
about a really rich Arab
wanting to see Jack McCadden dead.
I haven't talked to Jack in couple of years.
Now when grifters
and cons knock each other off,
I really don't gice a sh*t.
But Ms. Price's father is an assemblyman,
hard to fine his daughter.
It's how it works, he pushes me,
I push you. We find her,
Then I get to go home to my husband
who I'm pretty sure
letting our daughter overdoes
I'm out of town.
- That sounds painfully domestic.
- To me, it's a little piece of heaven.
Now you make me stick around this town,
just make sure that I
find something
to make it worthy my while.
For my scrapbook.
You know you don't have to waive
those things dry anymore.
It's a new process they've had it
Download this, will you please.
- What did the cop want?
- It's nothing.
I'm going to need you to cover
some of my accounts for the next few weeks.
- Not a problem.
- Good.
Hey, Ray.
Putty, how nice to see you.
- Gotta go for a ride.
- Holding me up for that B and B thing?
That's not like you.
I'm hurt you'd even think such a thing.
- I take this is not optional?
- That's a real good way to put it.
So who you working for these days?
Guy used to run out of Salt Lake.
The Mormon?
You heard of him? Really nice guy.
I've heard of at least six guys who'd argue that point,
if they were still around.
E don't really keep track.
But me and Bobo get benefits ;
dental, eyecare...
- Nice uniforms?
- Nice uniforms.
- I remember you.
- Do you?
- I'm Adelle.
- Please to meet you.
And you are?
Too old.
Do you have a bathroom?
It's a little crowded
in here right now.
I may be married to the old creep,
but he doesn't own me.
Well that's good to know,
so where you from, young lady?
South Dakota. Tiny little town.
How are you enjoying life in the big city?
Yeah right.
It's like being in prison with a nice pool.
But...
I do manage to find the odd distraction.
Bridge?
Come on.
Let's do it right here.
- Are you insane?
- It wasn't my idea.
Doesn't matter who's
'idea' it was.
He'll tear your head off
You go near one of his wives.
You dragged me here, remember?
So, let's get this audience underway?
I spent a fortune for landscaping,
It's very beautiful.
Thank you.
Putty tells me you've met one of my wives.
How does that work anyway?
The two...
Three.
Congratulations.
Our Doctrine says 'Celestial marriage
is the gate to excaltation.'
Sorry, do they work in shifts
or is this more of a group effort?
Things manage to work themselves out.
But enough about me. Are you married?
No.
I guess I just haven't met
the right women.
Funny.
I've heard there's a price on the head
of your old partner Jack.
I've also heard he maybe in town.
And you want me to tell you where he is?
- You know my chosen profession, right?
- Yes.
People have been hiring hitmen
for thousands of years.
Ever since some Neanderthal
gave some other Neanderthal half a mastodon
to clock his brother with a rock.
Neanderthals? I would have taken you
for a creationist.
More of a pragmatist, really.
Which is where you come in.
Do I?
I think having a man of your skills
covering my tracks
would be extremely helpful.
Well I'm sorry
but I don't alibi crimes.
You alibied one.
For the Hatch family, wasn't it?
That was the first and last.
Oh, I think not.
I think from now on
there will be many, many more.
Unless becoming an accessory after the fact strikes you
as a
reasonable way to spend
the next ten to fifteen years of your life.
Good evening Ray, we'll be in touch.
The genious of Jack McCadden
was that he was part magician
part artist, part ghost.
Ray, Jack's back on the radar.
You guys were like Batman and Robin.
Although it was a previlege to
work alongside him
What was his name, Jack something?
I've gone to great pains
to leave that life behind.
Jack McCadden, would he know?
So I hear there's a price
on the head of your old partner.
But that's the problem with the past.
Bad breakup?
until you are.
Dropped.
That's not a very comforting thought.
Yeah.
Dude, it's Cam.
Cam, I can't really deal with
this right now. Something came up.
But if it is him
people are gonna come looking for him.
Hey a**hole.
Ah no it's just
there's little thing that I need to deal with.
I will call you later.
Bye.
Wendell.
Wendell's posse.
You dick, I can't believe
you told my dad.
Somebody needed to straight things out.
I don't know who you think you are,
but you don't threaten me
and you don't threaten my father.
You're a f***ing employee,
you understand me? you are a burtler.
You are a berger flipper.
So let's step outside
and get this party started.
What is that?
Is that sort of Kung Fu?
Tae Kwon Doe.
Oh Tae Kwon Doe.
Why do we do it here?
It's a little cramped in here.
If you move those two chairs.
And I will shift this table...
Hey!
That's what I'm talking about.
- You want some more of this, pal?
- No.
Wendell. I don't want to get all philosophical
but a person's life has been taken,
and someone has to account for that.
Do you follow me?
Please don't kill me, I'll pay you.
Go, go, go!
Come on!
Stupid, a**hole.
I think you broke my f***ing nose.
I think I did.
Using your intellect is nice
but nothing beats the thrill of
delievering a good old fashioned...
What's wrong with that guy?
Okay come on, get in.
Wakey, wakey.
Look who's up.
Look who's up.
